Description

An uprising in Afghanistan. A slave market on the Sudanian Savanna. An illegal, high-stakes dice game in China. One girl facing middle school in Pennsylvania. History repeats itself when it comes to the harrowing dreams behind Mira Khatol's sleepwalking. Ever since an early trauma made her an orphan, recurring nightmares have plagued Mira's childhood. Now, she can no longer pretend that their relationship to her real life doesn't run much, much deeper and they aren't bursting through her imagination. Hospitalized following a devastating collision between her school bus and a tractor trailer that revealed two dangerous villains with secret, long-buried ties to Mira, child psychologist Dr. Susan Heller must help unravel the young girl's shocking connection to a bitter assassination attempt, a lost love finally found on the Isle of Mozambique and many others. Only then will they discover the separation between her dreams and reality to prevent history from repeating once more. Fully charged with riveting suspense throughout, this international coming-of-age tale is about loss, growth and interrupting cycles; of orphans struggling with their traumatic pasts and impossible circumstances to find family, if only in one another.
